I'm going to be attending Shanghai Jiaotong Uni for a term, and could use some advice from some fellow Skritters..!
I'm told it's best to look for an apartment once I arrive. I'll be looking in Xuhui district, near the campus. I was thinking of spending 3-4 days in a hostel, which I think would give me enough time to find a place?
Is there a hostel there that's good to stay at? My googling hasn't been too successful. I was thinking Letour Shanghai, although that's not especially close (it's 280rmb/night for a private room, which is relatively standard for chinese hostels - that's bearable for a few nights).
I've lived in China before, although didn't have to find my own place then -- and never been to Shanghai. So any advice is welcome!
Cheers
